Milly has now been rehomed !!<\/span><\/h1>\n

progress update: 28th Nov 09<\/strong><\/p>\n

Milly has become an absolute little treasure.<\/p>\n

She and my other dog Jack, have become really good friends.\u00a0 He was a wimp before hand, but has found the guts to stand up to her, and now looks out for her!!\u00a0 \u00a0He is quite the good dad!!\u00a0 We wanted a dog as a companion for him too, and it has worked out really well.\u00a0 They play \u201ctuggy\u201d together, which is Jack\u2019s favourite game.\u00a0 He still wins!!\u00a0 She can still be annoying \u2013 but he handles her brilliantly.<\/p>\n

\n

Milly is just such a bright cookie, and has learnt so much.\u00a0 She is no longer crated, and managed teething and not destroying my house! (which HAS happened with a previous dog I rescued!!).\u00a0 She is also a shadow \u2013 she follows you absolutely everywhere- and gets right under your feet.\u00a0 But although she loves to be around me and my husband, she also loves to be around Jack too.\u00a0 Fab.\u00a0 Best result ever.<\/p>\n

\n

Her only fault is that she would still rather pee indoors than out on a rainy day!! \u00a0\u00a0Oh yeh, \u00a0and also when it\u2019s dark \u2013 although she usually wakes us<\/span> up and asks for an escort!! (despite there being dog flaps, and so she could do it on her own, and does so perfectly well in the daylight!!)<\/p>\n

\n

She still has not come in to season.\u00a0 But that should be imminent.\u00a0 So expect to have her spayed early in the New Year, when I will send you the necessary paperwork.<\/p>\n

\n

Just looked at your website and would love to adopt them all.\u00a0\u00a0 But know that Milly needs to grow up a bit, before we can take on another unknown.\u00a0 But I am thinking about it again in a year or two.<\/p>\n

\n

Thanks once again to you and all your foster parents for caring for these animals. \u00a0You all do a wonderful job.<\/p>\n

\nShe is brill.<\/p>\n

She is cuddly, so intelligent and obedient when it suits her!<\/p>\n

She can “sit”, “paw” and sometimes “come” when she chooses. She
\nunderstands “no” but doesn’t always obey. “leave” other animals alone,
\nis a little tricky!!<\/p>\n

She does a kind of “fetch”, but doesn’t always bring back<\/p>\n

She can do her business outside, but sometimes the journey seems too
\nfar to bother, or it could be wet!!<\/p>\n

She is much better at greeting humans without nipping, but she still
\nneeds more dogs to put her in her place, as mine is such a wimp!!<\/p>\n

Nextdoor’s dog is much better at telling her to behave.<\/p>\n

She went out for her first walk today, as her jabs are now all in
\nplace, and she loved it, after the first 2 minutes, which were very
\nscary.<\/p>\n

All in all, I think she’s an absolute star!!<\/p>\n

Hoping to start obedience classes soon.<\/p>\n

Really hope the other 2 pups get homed soon.<\/p>\n

Dear Helen,
\nThis time some photos too – the lad in the photo is my son. My daughter is
\ncoming home at the weekend just to see Milly too!
\nMilly is just adorable. Really starting to find her feet now! Vet has
\nchecked her all over, and she is fine. She has had her first jabs, and on
\nthe way back from vet, fell asleep in the cat basket! She gets second jabs
\nin 2 weeks along with her microchip – but she has a dog tag on in the
\nmeantime. She is slowly getting used to the collar.
\nOur vets like to spay after her first season, just so you know.
\nMilly is starting to learn “sit” – just ‘cos she’s so brilliantly clever!
\nNot sure she is really relating the command to the act yet – but she is a
\nreally clever little thing. Only one poo indoors – all the rest have been
\noutside. Urinating is coming along well too – most are outside. She has got
\nup in the night and used the training pads!! How impressive!
\nShe loves all the toys. She fetches, loves balls, rings, chew toys and will
\nrip cuddly toys to shreds (just like Jack does). At the moment, she is not
\nstrong enough to “destuff” her cuddly toy, but when she is, that will have
\nto disappear!. She has just found the skirting board is possibly chewable,
\nso I suspect we may be very glad we are crate training her.
\nJack is unsure whether to put her in her place or just give in to her
\ncompletely – but I suspect she will be the dominant one. Tigger is coping
\nreally well with her, but she does have to be told to leave him alone
\nsometimes.
\nAll in all she had made amazingly quick adjustments and is very impressive
\nand so very cuddly!
\nHope you like the photos.
\nSharon<\/p>\n
